javascript-lodashHow can I use Lodash to deep compare two arrays of objects in JavaScript?

Lodash is a JavaScript utility library that provides many helpful functions for manipulating and working with objects and arrays. One of the utility functions Lodash provides is the _.isEqual() function. This function can be used to deep compare two arrays of objects in JavaScript.

Example code

const array1 = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'John',
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Jane',
  },
];

const array2 = [
  {
    id: 1,
    name: 'John',
  },
  {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Jane',
  },
];

console.log(_.isEqual(array1, array2));

Output example

true

The code above uses the _.isEqual() function to deep compare two arrays of objects. The function compares each item in the two arrays and returns true if the objects are equal and false if they are not equal.

Code explanation

• const array1: declares a variable named array1 and assigns it an array of objects.
• const array2: declares a variable named array2 and assigns it an array of objects.
• _.isEqual(): the Lodash function used to deep compare two arrays of objects.
• console.log(): prints the result of the comparison to the console.
